How to Fix Netflix Not Working on Sky Q?

• Check your internet connection

  • Ensure your Wi-Fi or data connection is stable and fast. Without it, you can't watch Netflix or other online shows.
  • Go to Settings on your Sky Q box, choose Network, and check if your Wi-Fi is working by trying to connect with another device. Restart your Sky Q box and router, if needed.

• Check for updates

  • Like apps on a phone, Netflix and Sky Q need updates sometimes. Go to Settings, then System Information, and choose Software Version to see if there are updates.
  • Install any updates found, restart your Sky Q box, and try Netflix again.

• Clear your cache

  • A full cache can make Netflix stop working. To clear it, go to Settings, then System Information, and select Storage. Choose Clear Cache, restart your Sky Q box, and try Netflix once more.

• Check your account information

  • Make sure your Netflix subscription is current and working by logging into your account on another device.
  • Sign out of Netflix on your Sky Q box in Settings, then Sign Out. Sign back in and try Netflix again.

• Reset your Sky Q box

  • If nothing else works, reset your Sky Q box to its original settings. Go to Settings, select System Information, then Reset. Follow the instructions on the screen.
  • After resetting, set up your Sky Q box again and check if Netflix works properly.

How to Link Netflix With Sky?

• Step 1: Go to the Netflix app.
  • From your Sky Q box, go to the home screen and scroll down to Apps. Look for the Netflix app. If you don't see it, your box might need an update. If it still doesn't appear after a while, contact Sky for help. Once you find the app, select it to open.
• Step 2: Sign into Netflix.
  • If your Netflix account uses the same email as your Sky Q account, you'll see the option to sign in. You can also sign in with a different account or enable Netflix if you don't have an account. Enter your account details and password.
• Step 3: Agree to the terms:
  • If you already have a Netflix account, you'll be informed that Sky will handle billing. If you agree, select "Accept and Start watching." If you cancel Sky Q, Netflix will still work, but billing will return to the old method.
• Step 4: Start watching:
  • Netflix shows are now available across Sky Q, from the Home Screen to On Demand. Choose a show to start watching. To access the main Netflix app, go to the Apps section in Sky Q and launch it from there.
• Tip: Netflix loads faster after the first time it's opened on Sky Q. Shows you've started watching will appear in the Continue Watching section.
